Another month, another round of new hires and exits at the Division of Workers’
Compensation.
We recently reported on the departure of the Deputy Commissioner of Appeals,
who oversees the Division’s Appeals Panel. We are pleased to report that the
position has been filled by former Ft. Worth Administrative Law Judge Kara
Squier, who has been a Division employee for more than a decade. We
congratulate her on the promotion!
Pam Delgado, the Administrative Law Judge in Corpus Christi, retired on July
12. The Division has posted her position but has yet to fill it. No word yet on
what life post-DWC might have in store for Judge Delgado, but whatever it may
be, we thank her for her service and wish her the best.
As one vacancy opens, another closes. Kathryn Labowitz, recently of Bailey
& Galyen, is the newest Administrative Law Judge in Dallas. Ms. Labowitz
graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a BA in political
science before obtaining her JD from Baylor Law School in 2003. In the interim,
her practice took her into the fields of family law, personal injury, probates,
and toxic tort litigation. We are excited to see what her experience will bring
to the DWC.
Mariana Kuznetsov, formerly a Proceedings Resolution Officer, has been promoted
to Benefit Review Officer. She began presiding over BRCs in July. Our
congratulations to her!
